This article displays primary sources from Louis Pasteur himself. The article starts off with an introductory on Louis Pasteur and how he came to be a scientist. I briefly used some of this information while writing up the home page as well as the background info page. This site was very helpful because after some skimming, the article provided first hand information from Louis Pasteur himself instead of a historian providing the information that they know. Having first hand accounts on a person is helpful because the researcher knows that the information is one hundred percent accurate.

This source was an interesting website that was helpful in completing this project. Nancy Appleton is a doctor, and has a strong opinion of Louis Pasteur and his Germ Theory. She believes that the Germ Theory is just a curse and its false information. Reading her article gave me a better understanding of the Germ Theory and how people could portray it as being false information. Being able to view different point of views on a subject is helpful because the researcher can build on their own views and come to better a conclusion. I did not use any of the information directly into my website, I used Nancy's information to build a better understanding of the Germ Theory.

This article was an excerpt from a book on Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. The author, I.K. Russel, writes a section on Louis Pasteur and his contributions to science. Russel had a lot of positive remarks about Louis Pasteur, nothing negative. That shows that there is bias in this article, and the bias is that the author was a big supporter of Pasteur and his views at a scientific aspect. Knowing that the author liked Pasteur, that warns the reader that although Pasteur had done so many positive things in his lifetime, not everyone is perfect. There had to have been some false accusation or situation that Pasteur got himself into. By reading this article only displayed the positive things he did which was helpful in the project overall, but made me want to find more dirty details on Pasteur to see if he really is perfect.

This online article was a brief biography of Louis Pasteur. The article provided information of Pasteur's dedication to his work, and his medical milestone (The Germ Theory). The article described Pasteur's process and techniques when he invented the method of pasteurization. The article helped with the Medical Milestone page of the website, as well as the past beliefs page. Eric Weisstein has obtained a solid amount of information about Pasteur. He kept the article brief, but provided enough information for the reader to know exactly what Pasteur was all about.

This source was a book that was given during class. There was a chapter of 50 pages on Louis Pasteur and his discoveries as a scientist. The beginning of the chapter covered briefly what Pasteur's life had been like prior to his milestone on the discovery of microbiology. The rest of the chapter covered the timeline of Pasteurs accomplishments and family life. I used part of this chapter in writing up what Pasteur's past beliefs had been and I took a couple of quotes from the chapter and placed them throughout the website. I used a quote by Louis himself. He wrote a letter to Marie before they got married, saying that she basically should marry him and that quote fit in well with the background information I provided on Pasteur. This book not only talked about Pasteur and his life, it talked about many other Microbe Hunters as well. Each chapter introduced a new scientist and their contributions to the world of microbiology. Paul de Kruif, the author, was a microbiologist himself, making him known as a scholar. Therefore, this source is known to be a scholarly source.
